How can I get selected?

Post your application to become a champion in a reply to this thread by 23.08.2010.
Introduce yourself to the members and explain why you should be the champion.

In four subsequent community votes, our members get to make their choice. The applicant who gets the most votes in the final voting round qualifies for the League of Champions and will represent the English language community.

Apply now and you might soon play for a total prize pool of $43,500 as the representative of the English language PokerStrategy.com community.

Entry requirements:

All Bronze members and above can apply to become champion

Only Bronze members and above are eligible to vote

Please only apply if you are genuinely interested. Your application has to include a portrait format photo of yourself.

If more than 50 members apply, PokerStrategy.com will carry out a pre-selection. Your chances at being selected increase with the quality of your application.

Hey folks,

Thank you all for your applications.

As we didn't receive more than 15 applications, we will skip the first vote which was planned for today and start the actual voting phase on Monday, 23.08.2010.

We still accept applications until Monday, 23.08.2010, up to a total of 15 applications.

If you still want to participate in the League of Champions don't miss the Qualifier Tournaments and win a spot as a champion for the english language community. Good luck!

Pokerstrategy events: lost HU for 2nd vs Soy-Cd in the PLO community event, played on most of soy-cds winning teams during BOTD other than when I played on Media Maniacs! "We will make you poor and famous!"

Made final table twice vs the Spaniards only to lose with KK and a flip in last BOTD.

Awwww thanks James, that's really nice of you, but I think I'll probably let other community members have a chance with this instead, unless I receive a signed petition of 1,000+ members asking me to lol.

I will certainly have a go at the community events though, might just bink a win and should be good banter.

My name is TobyCS and most of you know me as just Toby. I currently play 50NL SH and MTT on Full Tilt Poker and also some tournaments on PokerStars. I have recently won the daily dollar on Full Tilt Poker but have been struggling in cash games recently. I have been working on my game a lot recently and trying to improve my mindset because I think that is my worst aspect of my game. Here is a picture of cute dogs your your enjoyment:

[This is not an effort to gain votes!]

Aside from poker I enjoying playing golf and playing computer games. I currently have a handicap around of 15. It used to be lower but I took a break when I broke my arm and had to recover. I currently play a lot of Left 4 Dead 2 with friends which is super fun and also planning on getting Starcraft 2 (hopefully it doesn't take over my life).

You should vote for me to be represent this community because:

I am very responsible

I like a challenge

I am motivated

I am exciting

If you vote me I will do the best job possible and make sure that a member from this community becomes the champion! Vote me and you won't be disappointed!

It's always exciting and sad to come here and see all of u guys...
Exciting to remember all the time spent with all of u... sad that I couldn't keep coming here as much as I use to.
I've spent a piece of my life in this great adventure and coming back here always remind me of how happy I use to be...

I'll be part of this great event (a great evolution of the BOTD). Hope to see all of u during the qualifying rounds
